I guess that Ubuntu systems with ntp installed would boot a little
faster if ntp was not doing useless work by getting started before the
network is fully up.

Perhaps, but timesyncd is not activated by default.  I had to type this
command to activate it:

# timedatectl set-ntp true

While timesyncd is probably a fine alternative to ntp, this is a bug in
ntp and Ubuntu would be a better system with this bug fixed (or ntp
removed and timesyncd activated by default).

Time is fine on my system, but the noise of the error messages is a
problem in itself.
